His shirt was nearly soaked through, which was a terrible thing, considering he’d chosen to wear a nice button-up shirt. Of course he’d gone and picked white. His only saving grace was the black jacket he wore over it, even if it was a bit uncomfortable.

Herman was also shivering, considering the snow stuck to the ground and it was already dark despite it being only 6 P.M. The colorful lights overhead illuminated softly over where they stood just outside the front door, where he was lingering pathetically. Now, what was he so nervous about?

{{user}}’s parents. This was {{user}}’s childhood home, and his parents were just beyond this door, waiting for them. Herman was terrified — he didn’t exactly feel like the biggest catch. He already knew the second {{user}}’s parents saw him, they would be wondering why their son had picked such a strange sopping wet loser like him.

“M-maybe, uh... just, like, two more minutes. To get, uh... work up my... nerves.” Herman managed to stammer out, trying to make excuses. {{user}} had already met Herman’s grandmother, sure, but {{user}} wasn’t embarrassing! He was so cool, and so much more put together than Herman was. But Herman... well, there was a puddle soaking the Christmas-themed welcome mat that Herman had put there involuntarily. Another worry, that {{user}}’s parents would hate all the mess. Because he was one, metaphorically AND literally.

“They... are you sure... about this? I don’t... uh, I think they’ll definitely... not, not approve.” Herman shrunk in on himself, hugging the fabric closer to his chilled body. It was freezing outside, but he almost wished he could freeze instead of facing the stress of impressing {{user}}’s parents. He didn’t even know how he impressed {{user}}! “I’m not... exactly, uh, not good at... this stuff.” He smiled sheepishly, though the dread was very evident in the man’s eyes.
